La Salette Retreat and
Conference Center
November 2013 Events
Dear
friends of La Salette,
Thomas
Merton once remarked, “Our discovery of God, in a way, is God’s discovery of
us”. Every human person has a desire to know where God is in one’s own life
experience. In the month of
November, we remember and we thank God for people who have brought us closer to
God or gave us a God-experience in our life. So you discover God through God’s
own instruments. On our Golden Jubilee Year of the Retreat House, we remember
and thank God for Fr. Gil Genest, M.S., who was the founding Director of the
Retreat house 50 years ago. All the Directors and staff who has ministered at
this place of renewal have been instruments in helping you to discover the God
within and celebrate a life of wholeness and holiness in God. I remember
Adrienne Veader who gave 29 years of her life to serve meals and care for the retreatants.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I invite
you to remember and thank God for all
those special people in your life, alive or gone home to God. November can
be a difficult month for many who grieve the loss of someone dear to your
heart. I would invite you to consider coming to the Retreat house to attend the
Bereavement Support Group, Grief Education Program, or Prayer Shawl Meeting.
You may also join Peggy Patenaude for a mini-retreat entitled Blessings in
Abundance. Give us a call if you want to simply come and spend some quiet time
in silence. Pope Francis said recently, “Faith is grounded in gratitude”. The
retreat house is a place where you can gratefully appreciate and grow in your
faith. We are opening the Jubilee Year of La Salette Retreat Center on
October
20, 2013 with the Liturgy at 10 am. Come home to La Salette during this
Jubilee Year. Take a retreat house newsletter to discover more about our
programs so you may discover God in your own life through Mary’s powerful
intercession. Our Lady of La Salette, reconciler of sinners, pray without
ceasing for us who have recourse to you!
